However with current technology, it is not possibly to fuel cars cost effectively on hydrogen gas alone, and so hydrogen is used only as a fuel enhancement to improve efficiency and power, supplementing more conventional fuels used in internal combustion engines. This is similar in practice to using propane or nitrous oxide injections to increase engine performance. Hydrogen injection improves engine performance and efficiency, by allowing a leaner air/fuel mix than normally possible into the intake manifold of the engine, thus requiring less fuel to drive the engine. This also means that the temperature at which the fuel combusts is greatly reduced, which in turn lowers carbon dioxide and nitrogen emissions. There are two ways of powering vehicles with hydrogen. The first is through direct combustion, where hydrogen is produced through thermochemical methods or electrolysis, and pumped directly into the engine in a similar method to conventional fuels. Both petrol and diesel vehicles can be modified with an electrolysis system, that extracts hydrogen from water using electricity from a battery supply. www.hydrowaterpower.com www.hydrowaterpower.com www.hydrowaterpower.com
